A connecting device including first and second off-center rings, the second ring being positioned in the first ring. The peripheral outer surface of the first ring is frustoconical and has a smaller cross section oriented in a first direction, and the inner surface of the first ring and the outer surface of the second ring, which surfaces interact with one another, have cross sections which increase between a first cross section and a second cross section that is offset in relation to the first cross section in an opposite direction to the first direction. This arrangement makes it possible to be able to prevent the rotation of the first and second rings once their angular positioning has been adjusted.

Connecting device comprising two off-center rings with a frustoconical and/or spherical bearing surface, aircraft or aircraft floor comprising at least two portions connected by at least one such connecting device

A system for protection of at least one aircraft door sill, including a rigid panel having shape and dimensions configured to cover and to protect the sill at least partially having an attachment face oriented toward the sill of the aircraft and configured to come to rest on the latter and a step face oriented in the direction away from the attachment face. The panel includes, on one transverse side, at least one cavity forming a housing and, on the other side, an arrangement for removably fixing to the sill. The protection system equally includes at least one bar having a shape at least partially complementary to the cavity to assure the nesting thereof. In this way the panel protects the sill and can easily be replaced: the sill is provided with a rapidly interchangeable protection system.
